Check out Ally's blog for more...

All of the 2nd graders at Walnut Grove did a fabulous production last night. It was so fun to see all of their hard work pay off. The whole program was so great. We borrowed Ally's outfit from our neighbor who just happens to be from India. (gotta love that) They were more than willing to let Ally borrow Nintya's outfit. Right down to the bindi!!!

Jay man has been busy...

Jay's class participated in an "onsight" field trip called WALK-THRU REVOLUTIONARY WAR...this company comes to the school and puts on this amazing 2 1/2 hour long production all about the Revolutionary War. A few weeks prior to the production each kid is given a character and a war scene (as a team) Each class is divided into 4 teams and are awarded points based on different criteria--like... parts memorized, is the child in costume, do they have a prop, presentation (yadda yadda and so on) If you know Jay at all you know he did every possible option to get the most points...which he did- he got the maximum amount of points a single person could get (and the most points in his class) Jay was assigned John Adams and The Battle of Lexington and Concord. One of the kids was sick so Jay was chosen that day to also be Paul Revere...he did his hardest to memorize the part with the little time he had (10 minutes)...of course he succeeded and was fabulous!

Our good friend Rebecca had a baby, and Jay loves holding her. It's so sweet to see him so adoring with her...he would sit and hold her all day if he could!
